Hello everyone, I am interested in finding resources online to learn more about dry gas seals. Can anyone share their experiences with using dry gas seals and offer tips for troubleshooting issues? I would appreciate any insights you can provide. Thank you! - Afaq Aslam, Machinery Engineer.
For top-notch gas seal performance with steam or nitrogen, check out the John Crane website. These seals are highly effective when the gas is clean and the sealing faces are running smoothly. Regards, Joe Mc Cormack.
Afaq, are you experiencing any issues with your dry gas seals? If so, let's address and resolve them promptly to ensure optimal performance and prevent any potential damage.
Is this item effective for wet gas conditions? I'm simply intrigued. Have a great weekend!
As Joe mentioned, dry gas seals are highly effective when properly installed and maintained. They are not tolerant of dirt or moisture in the buffer gas, and a consistent gas flow and pressure are essential to prevent immediate failure. In environments with high humidity, installing a separate buffer gas drying and filtration system is necessary. Ensuring these conditions are met will determine the reliability of dry gas seals.

Dear Afaq, to learn more about DRY GAS SEAL, please visit the Dresser-Rand website at http://www.dresser-rand.com/e-tech/turbo.asp, where you can access the article written by Mr. John S Stahley on this topic.
Hey Afaq, great to see your interest in dry gas seals! My experience with them has been quite robust. One of the main things to remember is that maintaining a clean, dry, and stable seal gas supply is pivotal for proper operation. I'd recommend subscribing to "Machinery Lubrication" or "Sealing Sense," they often have valuable articles related to this. Also, the Dry Gas Seal Handbook by John Stahley gives detailed learning on dry gas seal theory, installation, and troubleshooting. Remember, getting hands-on experience is the best teacher. Good luck!
Hi Afaq, as a longtime user of dry gas seals, I can tell you that they're generally very reliable, but since they're sensitive, proper installation and maintenance are key. To learn more about them, I highly recommend going to turbo-lab.tamu.edu. It's a terrific resource managed by Texas A&M University and provides a wealth of information on turbines, compressors, and seals. In troubleshooting, remember that vibration issues are often a red flag with seals. Make sure you're regularly monitoring seal vibration data. It's also essential to keep the seals clean—dirt, dust or other foreign substances can quickly lead to problems.
